H2F is a capabilities-based, task and environment focused, Human Performance Optimization (HPO) program. HQDA EXORD 149-19 directs the Total Army to implement the H2F System. For the Active Component (AC), H2F provides Soldiers direct access to specialized medical and mental health care providers, athletic trainers, and strength coaches at the brigade level. The ARNG model will not mirror the AC model, while still accomplishing the desired end state of improving physical fitness, injury avoidance and recovery, nutritional health, and mental/spiritual resilience.

The ARNG achieves H2F Systems goals of improving Soldier readiness and lethality, optimizing physical/non-physical performance, reducing injury rates, improving rehabilitation after injury, and increasing overall effectiveness through a Directorate enabled and State/Territory led approach which accounts for ARNG unique requirements, opportunities, constraints. The ARNG will accomplish this through a blend of material solutions, subject matter expertise, federal and state resources, and health care professionals.

Richard Schumacher Receives 2023 Jerry L. Hayes Award for Metrology

Naval Surface Warfare Center, Corona Division

May 24, 2023 | 1:52

The 2023 Jerry L. Hayes award was presented to Richard Schumacher, department head for the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Corona Division Measurement Science and Engineering Department, which serves as the department head for the Navy’s metrology and calibration program and provides weapons interface engineering assessment, strategic weapons surveillance and testing, and test systems assessment.

The Jerry L. Hayes Award was established to pay tribute to the accomplishments of Jerry Hayes, founder of the U.S. Navy's metrology and calibration program and the original technical director of the United States Navy's Metrology Engineering Center and, later, the Naval Surface Warfare Center Corona Division Measurement Science and Engineering Department. Mr. Hayes dedicated his career to advancing the quality of technical assessments and measurements within the Navy, the Department of Defense and the nation. Award recipients embody the spirit and vision that enable NSWC Corona to execute this critical mission for the Navy.

NSWC Corona Division is designated as the Navy's Test and Monitoring Systems technical advisor responsible for disseminating calibration guidance to over 2,750 personnel across the Naval enterprise and ensuring accurate and traceable measurements to international standards to reduce the risk of wrong test decisions and improve Fleet lethality. NSWC Corona authors the detailed calibration procedures used to perform nearly 500,000 calibrations each year on the Navy's more than 1.6 million pieces of test equipment; and uses the results from these calibrations to establish and optimize calibration periodicities to ensure the proper risk vs. cost trade-off. In measurement areas where the Navy/USMC are unable to find a suitable commercial solution, NSWC Corona partners with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the Army, and the Air Force to ensure that measurement technology is developed in a complimentary manner and that fielded solutions will interoperate across the services.
